Real World ASP.NET Web API Services for .NET Framework (Udemy.com)

At first, I found the instructor to be a little mono toned and not a very dynamic speaker. This can make it a little challenging to stay engaged. However, the content is certainly there, the syllabus is nicely organized, and the instructional level is perfect for me (not too basic and not too advanced, perfectly intermediate) . The instructor is more than sufficiently knowledgeable on the subject matter. So, now that I am deeper into the course, I can see and understand that my issues were more about giving myself the much needed kick in the rear to get going and put in the work learning this. Can't blame the instructor for that.

To be honest, it's one of the best course on the Asp.Net Web API. I've used Web API a lot, but I still learned a lot about the pipeline, moving parts etc. The only downside is, it's not on Net.Core version but Asp.net Web API. But, knowing that, I've still learned a lot. He reads and responds to all of the questions which is a rare thing on the Udemy. I give 5 stars out of the 5 stars. Thank you.

Tutor is very cool, answer your queries quickly. I am rating it 3.5* because it could be more better. Anyways overall its a good if you are looking to become a professional WebApi developer.

This course is amazing. I wish other courses would go as in-depth as this course did. The passion the instructor has for preparing students of this course is uncanny. Aligning this course to prepare students for real world ASP.Net development goes miles beyond my initial expectations. He did an amazing job & I believe i'll be coming back to this course frequently to insure i'm using the best practices when building out my professional projects.

El curso es realmente lo que dice, para programadores que ya tienen nocion del tema y quieren ir a fondo. Me sirvió para armar una API que necesitaba en el laburo, asi que lo recomiendo porque realmente es una muy buena base para arrancar el desarrollo de un servicio. Lo unico que me costo un poco fue que el orador usa siempre un mismo tono de voz y cuesta seguirlo.

Half-way through and content is perfect for me (IT Professional with MVC & C# knowledge). I knew nothing of Web API, but feeling much more confident about using it. It focuses on Web API and Web API alone, which is great. That's all I wanted. Don't be expecting any end to end examples encompassing business logic, database. So far there are no examples of coded invocations of web API either, just examples of how to test from utilities like Swagger, Postman and Fiddler.

There's a lot of really useful, great information in here, but be aware that the content is really for experienced C# users only. I really appreciate that the presenter focuses on the API framework and not language/code conventions here. He tells you how to use the framework and what he thinks is best, rather than extended examples. In the video descriptions, he says that he wanted to make the course he wished he had before having to learn about API 2.0, and I think he succeeded. Each section has downloadable template code to write your own extensions that plug in to the pipeline. These are super useful and have lots of comments that will save you hours of reading through MSDN documentation. So what's with my rating? Well, I think there's some things left to be desired here. First, the intro videos and descriptions sometimes go on tangents that are unncessary and long. The video quality is relatively poor, I think it maxed out at 720p. The text is still rather fuzzy at that resolution. The audio quality got distracting at times, with breathing and mouth movements being distracting at times. Content-wise, this course is an A+. Presentation-wise, the cheesy graphics, unnecessary music, and lack of production value rate a solid C. That said, this course is well worth your money. It's like you got to sit down with a professional developer for an entire day of their hard-won experience. This is definitely a course I'll be referring back to over the next few years even as .NET Core's API rises in popularity.

This course is great! The content gets explained in depth and are tailored to real life applications. This course does a terrific job of explaining the different layers of Web API. The more than excellent theoretical content is supplemented with good exercises to practice what is learned and quizzes to test your knowledge. Darren (teacher) is very involved in this course and will respond fast whenever someone asks a question and often gives very elaborated responses.

I think this is what I need. Looking forward to it. A lot has been covered, perhaps too much. I'll need to do this class again at least once.

This was one of the best course I have taken online and while I am into this I always believe, this course was designed specifically for me ! All the concepts are explained in lucid manner and the "template asset" is awesome ! Usually when I take course online and I want to refer back then I have little choice other than watching it all over again, but here the comments in template and template itself is an asset in this context! This is 10 on 10 course for me.The only other thing I was wishing for an example of end to end api with all the concepts explained in the course ! But anyway I am so happy !
